COOKTOP USE

WARNING

Fire Hazard

Do not let the burner flame extend beyond the edge of the pan.

Turn off all controls when not cooking. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death

or fire.

REMEMBER: When cooktop is in use, the entire cooktop area may become hot.

Cooktop Controls

Electric igniters automatically light the surface burners when control knobs are turned to HI and will automatically reignite if the flame is extinguished.

If a cross draft is present, the flame may be affected and some sparking may occur. This is normal.

Before setting a control knob, place filled cookware on the grate. Do not operate a burner using empty cookware or without cookware on the grate.

To S et :

1. Push in and turn knob counterclockwise to HI.

2. Turn knob to anywhere between HI and LO. Use the following

chart as a guide when setting heat levels.

SETTING RECOMMENDED USE

HI ■ Start food cooking.

■ Bring liquid to a boil.

■ Hold a rapid boil.

■ Quickly brown or sear food.

■ Fry chicken.

Medium Between HI and LO

■ Maintain a slow boil.

■ Fry or sauté foods.

■ Cook soups, sauces and gravies.

■ Stew or steam food.

Power failure

In case of power failure, the surface burners can be lit manually. Hold a lit match near a burner and turn knob counterclockwise to HI. After burner lights, turn knob to setting.

IMPORTANT: Burner reignition feature does not work without power.

Sealed Surface Burners

Standard Burner

A. Cap B. Spreader C. Electrode

Burner installation:

To install the burner base, insert the igniter electrode into the burner base hole or notch.

IMPORTANT: Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air around the burner grate edges.

Burner cap: Always keep the burner cap in place when using a surface burner. A clean burner cap will help avoid poor ignition and uneven flames. Always clean the burner cap after a spillover and routinely remove and clean the caps according to the “General Cleaning” section.

Gas tube opening: Gas must flow freely throughout the gas tube opening for the burner to light properly. Keep this area free of soil and do not allow spills, food, cleaning agents or any other material to enter the gas tube opening. Keep spillovers out of gas tube by always using a burner cap.

Dual Flame Burner

A. Cap B. Spreader C. Electrode

Simmer

*For a more delicate simmer, see the “Melt Cap” section.

■ Simmer.*

■ Keep food warm.

■ Simmer sauces.

Burner ports: Check burner flames occasionally for proper size

and shape. A good flame is blue in color, not yellow. Keep this area free of soil and do not allow spills, food, cleaning agents or any other material to enter the burner ports.

4. Turn on the burner. If the burner does not light, check burner

cap and base alignment. See “Burner installation” in the “Sealed Surface Burners” section. If the burner still does not light, do not service the burner yourself. Contact a trained repair specialist.

To C le an:

IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and

cooktop is cool. Do not use oven cleaners, bleach or rust removers.

1. Remove the burner cap from the burner base and clean

according to “General Cleaning” section.

2. Clean the gas tube opening with a damp cloth.

3. Replace burner bases and burner caps. IMPORTANT:

■ Be sure that the igniter electrode aligns with the slot or

notch in the burner base. The igniter electrode is ceramic and could break during installation of the burner base.

A. Correct B. Incorrect

Melt Cap

For melting chocolate or butter or an even more delicate simmer, the melt cap can be used in place of the standard burner cap. The melt cap should only be used on the small burner (right rear). Remove the small burner cap and replace it with the larger melt cap for delicate simmering. For less delicate simmering, use the small cap.

Surface Grates

The surface grates are positioned correctly when the thick ribs form a frame around the outer edge and the thin ribs are located across the middle. All burners will be centered with the burner openings in the grates. See the following illustration.

NOTE: The end grates are different than the center grate. Do not use the end grate in the center grate position. End grates have a tab that prevents interchanging the center and end grates. Install the end grate first with the tab facing the center burner. Then install the center grate.

■ Be sure that the cap is properly positioned on the burner

and that you have placed the cap on the correct burner. The ring on the bottom of the cap will align with the tabs on the burner. Do not interchange caps.
